Paul Trynka's David Bowie biography Starman has been around for a few
years now. Regardless of loving his new album
The Next Day, the first
Bowie album I've ever listened to from start to finish, I wouldn't count
myself as a Bowie fan. Sure, I've adored tracks like Heroes, Sorrow,
and Ashes to Ashes among others, but I've never felt the all-adoring ado
that many fans have. Starman goes someway to changing that. It's an insightful read, painting an
unexpected character in this unputdownable book. I'm marvelling at what
Bowie has contributed to the world of music, fashion and much more. It's no wonder London's
V&A Bowie exhibition was so popular last year.
